Heraeus will continue production at its site in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, where it had recently enhanced its R&D capabilities. In parallel, the site in Hanau, Germany will concentrate on Technical Service and Applications. Andreas Liebheit, Senior Vice President managing the Photovoltaics Business Unit adds: "Bringing even more of our Production Capacity close to our prominent Asian partners, our Singapore site will become even more important in the future. Being able to meet increasing demand at reasonable lead times is the key to success in the fast moving PV industry. Moreover this South-East Asian operation provides a perfect environment for continuous improvements in lean management throughout the entire supply chain and manufacturing process."
Increasing production capacity at its Singapore site underlines Heraeus’ continued strong commitment to the PV market. Heraeus has been a technology leader in silver paste ever since it entered this industry in 2008.
